    TBR Drop - Mar 25, 2026

    I know and I hate to say it, but when I hear something like Snowflake Fitness, Snowflake Consulting or Snowflake Construction, it makes me laugh. "You want me to take a hammer and wood and build WHAT? Look at my fingernails, can you imagine what that'll do to them?" This is one word that...

    Learn how to NOT pay taxes!

    Getting 100% of your purchase price in tax deductions is incredibly difficult in the USA (probably impossible in Canada) and usually concerns extremely rare and prestigious items (that relate to that specific organization) that the charity, non-profit, etc. will sign off on. That's because the...

    SOLD.tld Vegan.now Sold For $15,000 USD At Spaceship

    That reminds me of that massive TBR auction for Vegan.ca - it's still on sale for $210,000.

    TBR Drop - Mar 18, 2026

    It's an insane traffic site with some of the highest ratings I've seen on a .CA - some of the backlinks are from the Canadian government. This domain also had a $13,000 preorder bid at WHC, so there is still some room for upward growth.

    TBR Drop - Mar 25, 2026

    Again, I had them on my list, but I just don't see the value at the prices paid, but that's just me. To me, the best is Tomato and the worst is Mushroom. Snowflake is troubling due to it being turned into a popular political and societal insult, not matter how many ready-made clients there are...

    TBR Drop - Mar 25, 2026

    Not a fan of the vegetables, and I was going to go for Snowflake when it was cheap, but the price went too high due to its negative meaning in slang, and the increased popularity of that slang, especially in politics. I'm not sure about it anymore as a brand that a new, large company would...

    TBR Drop - Mar 25, 2026

    If we're being Frank (get it? :D) the WHC Hot List tends to serve the same basic purpose of highlighting popular domains with active bids.

    I hate to be "that guy" but did anyone see or hear anything about this? @efalcon

    TBR Drop - Mar 25, 2026

    1) Yes they do, and if you have an active preorder you can see what the current bid price is before the drop. I report these numbers regularly. 2) With their open auction format being 100% anti-consumer, WHC has to offer some type of carrot, otherwise no one would ever place a bid there. The...

    TBR Drop - Mar 25, 2026

    Sure, but it's certainly not that simple and WHC doesn't exist in a vacuum. Current TBR investor prices are absolutely unsustainable and the market will eventually adjust and contract based on this competitive, open auction-based price-gouging. Assuming auction participants don't all want to go...

    TBR Drop - Mar 25, 2026

    Well, regardless of the hard-and-fast rules, I know their pre-Fury website did and clearly outlined the process of how the TBR should function back then. And I remember talking to Richard about this and he stated CatchDrop had to convince them of this new "open auction" format, so it wasn't like...

    TBR Drop - Mar 25, 2026

    Did you check out last week? Quite a few mid-to-low range domains that ended at $60, or $30 total in real money. Those same domains would go for $100-$200 at WHC, and I see it happen every single week. Must be something in the water over at WHC, as their auction prices (relative to the quality...

    TBR Drop - Mar 25, 2026

    The more I think about it, the more I believe that of the big dogs, Grape has the fairest TBR system, which is faint praise indeed. Sure, their auctions are open to everyone, but only those who placed a pre-order get the discount, which puts all the sloths, laggards, slackers, and wastrels right...

    TBR Drop - Mar 25, 2026

    Well of course, as after CatchDrop got the CIRA to open the floodgates, there are no longer any rules or accepted format and literally anything goes. I bet there is also shill bidding going on in the TBR auctions, which as RLM attested, the CIRA doesn't care one bit about and thinks it's...
